energy which the Leaburg and
Walterville plant can make.
The municipal power plant ex
pects to continue to deliver all
available dump power during the
next three or four months. Al
though local demands, increasing
as laii approaches, will cut down
the total- that can be sent, ap
proximately 8,000,000 kilowatt
hours will probably be delivered
by fall.
Bonneville does not pay for
the energy immediately, since it
it considered part of the 15,000,000
kilowatt hour "pool" of dump
power. If the total should ex
ceed that amount, the city power
system would be paid at the rate
of V4 cent per kilowatt hour.
The 2.500.000 kilowatt hours
already in the pool are available
for Eugene to draw against. They
represent a value of more than
$6,000.
Although the balance is far in
favor of Eugene, the city system
has used Bonneville power to a
greater or lesser degree each
month since December, 1940. The
month-by-month use of energy
has been: December 136.580 kilo
watt hours: January, 83.000: Feb
With The Army
On Maneuvers
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
Chief trouble came however when
the trucks rumbled past the Sacred
Heart hospital on their assigned
route out of the city. It was "con-
foosin' but not amoosin' " to doc
tors and nurses who attempted to
calm their patients! Needless to
say, the trucks' route was changed
from Hilyard to Mill street Mon
day. The army's M. P. military po
lice -save an efficient demonstra
tion in keeping Saturday night's
street dance orderly and in round'
ing up the soldiers at 11 p. m. The
soldier police were stationed even
in the center of the street among
the dancers and made regular pa
trols up and down the aisles of
restaurants, soft drink counters,
etc.
Two soldiers were disappointed
in trying to strike up an acquain
tance with three Eugene lassies
following the dance when along
came two M. P.'s In their patrol
jeep." The soldier boys ducked
down an alley but not fast enought
for the police who quickly chased
after them and "escorted" them
back to camp.

This service has cost the water
board approximately $12,000. The
major portion of the cost has
been the "retainer fee" of 75
certts per kilowatt Of demand, for
1,500 kilowatts of "prime power."
This is under the special one
year contract which was negoti
ated last December, and which
will expire December 6, 1941.
Under it B6nneville guarantees
t6 supply Eugene with 1,500 kilo
watts of power on call. The
availability of this "prime" power
gives the municipal System added

What's the shortest way to Cottage
Grove"? Seemingly not daunted
by the 20 miles they hiked on to
wards the highway.
The men's swimming pool at the
University was just like the "or
swimmin' hole" Sunday night as
nearly 600 boys took advantage of
the offer to cool off. Harry T.
Shea, supervisor of the pool, said
"the boys looked at me as though
I was telling them a fairy story
when I told them to jump in."
"Where do you get all the good-
looking girls?" one soldier was
heard to remark as he watched the
street dance Saturday night.

the same predicament. Several
soldiers declared they had volun

British Claim Bomb
Raids Hinder Nazis
LONDON, July 7 British
bombers pounded German - oc
cupied France twice today in a
continuation of an air offensive
which a reliable observer said has
jammed German communications
on a deep arc from Brest to Kiel
and softened German defenses
along a thousand miles of the con
tinental coast.
He credited the repeated at
tacks with:
1. Hampering German personnel
and material movement, this also
weakening the German drive into
Russia;
2. Slowing production of Ger
man armament, oil and other war
supplies.
3. Smashing facilities the Ger
mans need to invade Britain;
4. Smoothing the way, if Brit
ain sends an expeditionary force
to the continent.
whether they would be supple
mented by troops.
Mr. Roosevelt did not indicate,
either," whether similar action
might be taken against other pos
sible stepping off points for a
possible German attack on th
western hemisphere.
Dangers Pointed Out
But he has spoken of dangers
which might be Inherent in any
nazi control of such points as Da
kar on the west coast of Africa
and of the Cape Verde and Azores
islands, which are Portuguese, and
the Canary Islands, which are
Spanish.
Along with his message to con
gress, Mr. Roosevelt sent to capi
tal hall the text of the letters ex
changed between himself and the
prime minister of Iceland.
Mr. Roosevelt received a letter
from the prime minister on July
1 and replied the same day.
It was in line with an under
standing reached in this exchange
that the navy went into Iceland. .
While the president has hesita
ted to draw a definite boundary
line for the western hemisphere,
some administration officials have
said that Iceland was outside of
the western hemisphere. The line
demarcation, as these sources out
lined it, passed between Greenland
and Iceland.
British Free For War
Now the United States for the
first time has taken over the ac
tual protective duties heretofore
carried out by British troops. This
will free the British for service
elsewhere.
Mr. Roosevelt declared it to b
"imperative that the approaches
between the Americas" and the
strategic outpost in the Atlantic
should remain open and free from
all hostile activity or threats.
The president said he consequ
ently "issued orders to the navy
that all necessary steps be taken
to insure the safety of communica
tions in the approaches between
Iceland and the United States as
well as on the seas between the
United States and all other strate
gic outposts."
"This-government," Mr. Roose
velt declared, "will insure the ade
quate defense of Iceland with full
recognition of the independence of
Iceland as a sovereign state.
"In my message to the prime
minister of Iceland I have given
the people of Iceland the assur
ance that the American forces sent
there would in no way interfere
with the internal . and domestic
affairs of that country, and that
immediately upon the termination
of the present international em
ergency all American forces will
be at once withdrawn, leaving
the people of Iceland and their
government in full and sovereign
coniroj oi ineir own territory."

By contrast, a Red armv bulle
tin said that in the Bessarabian
sector "the enemy, suffering very.
heavy losses, was thrown back to
his previous position."
A Moscow communique, pro
claiming success everywhere for
the Red armies, declared heavy

Germans threw fresh reserves into

Counter-attacking with bayo

German fascists back across the

the communique said.
"The bodies of several thousand
fascist soldiers remained On the
field of battle, and many more
perished In the river."

16-day-old struggle came from
Moscow and Berlin, one thing
seemed clear:
Adolf Hitler's invasion armies.

nazi fuehrer himself, still were

the vast Soviet hinterlands after

commentator admitted franklv the

1940 campaign in the west.
On the reported break at Rus

'Near the fortification system of

"Several strongly fortified bun

Carnegie Institution Head
To Dig in John Day Fossil Beds
Bound for the John Day region
in central Oregon, where for more
than 40 years he has been keenly
interested in what he declares is
One of the greatest areas for revel
ation of the story of life in the
United States, Dr. John C. Mer
riam, president emeritus of the
Carnegie Institution, will leave
here Tuesday.
In company with Samuel H.
Boardman, state parks superin
tendent, Dr. Merriam will spend
some time inspecting present and
prospective park sites in this re
gion. Several places of unusual
interest to laymen and scientists
have already been set aside for
this purpose.
Dr. Merriam plans to spend the
entire summer in Oregon, and will
make his headquarters at the Uni
versity of Oregon and Oregon
State college. As head of the
Carnegie Institution for many
years he has maintained a keen
interest in the John Day fossil
region, and has aided and en
couraged several scientists in re
search of various phases found
there.
It is the hope of Dr. Merriam
that studies of various men, made
during the past 40 years, and his
own research findings, can be co
ordinated into a complete docu
ment on the John Day region, and
that this may be made available
in the near future.
The John bay region, for four
important reasons, presents one of
the most important areas in the
world for actually tracing the story
of life on earth, Dr. Merriam points
out. He cites as points: 1. The
"story" is pretty well filled in. 2.
The story of life is mixed in with
vulcanism. 3. The "book" has been
opened up by erosion brought
about by the John Day river. 4.
The region is easily accessible.
Dr. Merriam plans to make ob
servations and take photographs
while on the present trip, and will
make information he gathers
available when he returns here in
about two weeks.
